winter

This winter is already hanging heavy on me but it also has its bright sparkles. On December 15, 2014, my sister, brother and I watched my father, Samuel J. Miller, take his last breath, at home with the Messiah playing... Continue reading

Magpie Sister Unite!

For many years I have been drawn to things that sparkle and shine as well as old, rusty, beaten out of shape things. I used to feel alone in this but my husband, the Mailman, would show his love for... Continue reading

I find it interesting the concept that we should be happy all the time, as in never sad. It's kind of like anger to me. In and of itself, anger isn't a bad thing. In fact it lets me know something is wrong and I can try to figure out why whatever triggers me. The bad part isn't the emotion but what I do with it. xo

Right now

I made myself sit down and do another layer on these wee paintings. Okay, not truly wee but small as they are 3” x 3” in size. http://www.flickr.com/photos/phantomwhispers/8353058572/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/phantomwhispers/8353056892/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/phantomwhispers/8351992759/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/phantomwhispers/8353053460/ I was fighting with myself about painting the noses....

Carina, I am right handed as you assumed. I am doing so much better and I am recovering nicely. Therapy is the only reason I can do most of the things I can do. I still have a way to go but it is so much better than it was and I really am grateful I have the use of it I have. It could have been so much worse. Thanks for asking and posting :-)
